Glad you are okay!
My daughter goes back to school tomorrow after her Christmas break.
I know, right? How stupid do I feel when my fourth grader needs math help and I just go Ummmmmm...
lol... I do that too. I was horrible at math back in school and it hasn't improved since. Anything more complicated than 2+2=4 is beyond me. Ok, I'm not quite that bad but I failed geometry in school and nearly failed algebra.
Math is the worst for us and it's the one subject she seems to have homework in every day. 5th grade math seems harder now than when I was in 5th grade. I googled what a term meant a while back cause I was clueless, my little girl kept saying "I don't know if we're supposed to do that Mom!" like we were cheating or something. She cracks me up!
lol. Thank God for the internet!
**snortsnort** Sometimes I wonder about public education and how it makes kids worry about conforming.
After 9-11 I made red-white-blue ribbons b/c the fabric store ran out. (I felt helpless and wanted to DO something. I ran out every day, BTW.) Anyway, I asked the little girl next door if she wanted one (she watched me making them with longing in her eyes). She replied, "We're not allowed to wear gang colors." !!!!!
lol. But it's really sad.
That is funny but as the same time it is sad. I had heard about some schools having to pass that rule. My kids small school (luckily) is still worrying about to short shirts and skirts instead of gang colors.
It's the gang of Lisas taking over the world!!!!
So what are Lisas' gang colors?
I think we will have to have a vote on that one - honourary Lisa's included of course.My vote is for bright and sparkly like us.
Gold and silver? lol
Orange! Blue!Sorry... Was showing my Gator there. :)
I wanted you all to know I'm typing this while dressed in a corset, waiting for the start of my last show at a medieval faire. That is all. :)
Sounds like fun! lol
All you were wearing is a corset? Must have been chilly! ; D
I will put that on my bucket list: Wear a corset. lol Glad to know you can breathe wearing that!
Breathing is overrated. ;)And I had my dress on, too... :P
You're a brave woman, Abigail!
Naw, I'm just an attention hound. *laugh*
You know, I don't think I've every worn a corset. Thanks Leslie and Abigail; I'm putting that on my bucket list!
Don't thank me until after you tried it. :)
I won't. **snortsnort**
OMG, I fixed me a can of soup for lunch and threw in a bunch of jalapenos. Now my mouth is burning!
Oh, dear! Have you tried tomato or avocado to cool it off?
lol! I don't have either in the house at this time. I need to do some serious shopping! lol. It's not too bad now. I should know better than to dump half a jar of jalapenos into my soup!
Yeah, that'll teach me, NOT! I love jalapenas ☺
Ugh! I don't do spicy or hot. I have a bland, English/Norwegian palate. : D
I'm Texan! I guess that's why I love the spicy stuff. ☺
Yup, that would definitely explain it! : D
I warn my kid every time he orders something spicy. He always responds with, "I know, Mom," complete with eye roll.
Yeah, there is something about killing all your taste buds....
Yea, my taste buds don't do spicy. They lean more towards the sweets. I'm a dessert kind of gal. ^_^
Oh I do sweet too. But right now I'm munching on jalapena potato chips. ☺
Leslie, you probably would have loved the birthday cake a friend's son baked for me this weekend. It was triple chocolate (Double Dutch chocolate with mini chocolate chips) and chocolate frosting. YUM!
OOOOOH, Heather, that's sounds divine!
It was! :-D And maybe even more special because a friend's 18-yr old son baked it. He might make some woman a good husband some day, as he likes to cook and bake. He graduates HS this June, then enters the army later this summer. *sigh* Guess it'll be back to store-bought cakes next year. *g*
My daughter likes to bake but she gets it into the oven and takes off. So unless I let it burn I have to fish it out when its done.

And that was sweet (no pun intended) of him to do that. He likes to cook and bake?! Damn, lucky woman that gets him! Lol
Maybe you can go to those mom and pop bakery shops. My boyfriend got our anniversary cake a couple years back from a small place near his mom's home. It was really good and at a good price.
Where did I put my stash of emergency chocolate...
Oh man, no hot stuff for me. Chipotle ranch is too hot for me, lol. I don't even put pepper on my food. I'm a wimp :)
lol. That's okay, Kit. That means more hot stuff for me ☺
Oh don't worry Kit, I'm with you there! We can be wimps together lol The only spicy/hot things I would eat are the Flaming Hot Cheetos. And even, that was back in high school. Everyone seemed to love that...If I'm every in a choco-withdrawal, I'm going to you Abigail! Will apologize in advance for clearing out that stash. Lol
I hope Abigail has a special secret stash so she doesn't totally run out!
Leslie ~ Says, he likes to bake and cook. Trust me, there are no shortages of places to buy cakes around here, and it's not as though I never bake for myself, LOL. As for the flaming hot Cheetos...Ugh! I can't even do those. Give me the original ones or none at all. *G*
